Haven't blogged about "Baldur's Gate" in a long time. Reason being, haven't played it in a long time. Got sidetracked, in a good way. Played "Neverwinter Nights 1" right through. Am now playing "Neverwinter Nights 2", and am thoroughly enjoying it, playing as a female half-elf (half human, half drow) named Tarnalia Lucklass. Tarnalia is a Swashbuckler, so she relies mainly on dexterity and uses two (magical) rapiers as weapons. Its pretty cool, how she twists and turns in the air while she slices and dices! Lots of fun.
At the same time, idecided to give "Neverwinter Nights 2:Storm of Zehir" a whirl as wel,, never having played it before. Although slightly slower paced, I am totally enjoying being able to create and control a party of four, much like in Icewind Dale (but much much better).
Below is my party...
1. Harjuana Djimnut

Harjuana is a female, human, black, a Ranger/Rogue(Thief). As a Ranger, she is working towards becoming a Stalker, an expert at moving stealthily.
Her alignment is Neutral Good, her deity is Shiallia, and her background is Veteran.
Strength = 12
Dexterity = 15
Constitution = 14
Intelligence = 14
Wisdom = 14
Charisma = 10
She is a two-weapon fighter. For a distance weapon, she uses a magical crossbow.
2. Szimon Norhausen
(Click to see it bigger)
Szimon is a male Gray Orc, one of those orcs who lives deep inside the mountains and are not often seen by others. He is a Cleric, working at becoming a Warpriest. As a Grey Orc Cleric, Szimon is quiet, but very passionate about his calling and can run off into battle in a rage at times if he thinks that his deity demands it of him.
His alignment is Chaotic Good, his deity is Selune, and his background is Devout.
Strength = 14
Dexterity = 11
Constitution = 15
Intelligence = 11
Wisdom = 14
Charimsa = 13
His weapon of choice is a Greataxe (he hopes to be able to afford to purchase a magical one very soon).
3. Darqhamer Deepbledder
(Click to see it bigger)
Darqhamer is a male gnome, specifically a Deep Gnome. Deep Gnomes, as their name implies, live deep in the earth and are not normally seen on the surface. He is a Warlock, a natural magic-caster with no need to memorize spells; he casts them through pure willpower. Deep Gnomes do not usually speak much, but Darqhamer is an exception to this rule.
His alignment is Lawful Evil, his deity is Loviatar, and his background is Tale-Teller.
Strength = 6
Dexterity = 16
Constitution = 14
Intelligence = 12
Wisdom = 10
Charisma = 14
When battle presses around him and he is forced to do hand-to-hand combat, Darqhamer uses a +1 Warmace. Luckily, his extremely short stature makes him a hard target to hit!
4. Naytashe Oaktaller
(Click to see it bigger)
Naytashe is a female Wood Elf, a Fighter by trade who is working at becoming a Weaponsmaster in the use of the Longsword.
Wood Elves usually are not seen in public, but hide deep in the forests they call home; they have golden or copper coloured skin.
Her alignment is Lawful Neutral, her deity is Red Knight, and her background is Militia.
Strength = 15
Dexterity = 15
Constitution = 16
Intelligence = 12
Wisdom = 8
Charisma = 8
Naytasha fights with a Longsword and shield (and hopes to get a magical Longsword as soon as she can).
Drawn together after the fall of the King of Shadows, these four unlikely adventurers became known as Harjuana's Four, whose motto became "Pirate Booty Call!" as they tended to stay near the coastlines in the adventuring.
